Laufey is having her moment. Scratch that, she’s having A Moment In Time. With the announcement of her new album, A Moment In Time, a project that promises to continue the romantic, jazzy magic we know and love, we couldn’t be more excited. This record feels extra special: Laufey described it as deeply personal, like opening up pages from her own diary. So, we figured now is the perfect time to slow things down and look back on the Laufey memories we want to bottle up forever, and will never forget as fans. So, without further ado, here are four Laufey moments worth putting in a time capsule.
Rapper Laufey in ‘Tough Luck’
‘Tough Luck’ is the first single from A Moment In Time, and it has us shook. It’s everything we love about Laufey: elegant, witty, and effortlessly classic. The lyrics are reminiscent of tracks like ‘Bored’ from Bewitched The Goddess Edition, playful, self-aware, and centered on Laufey putting her own feelings first, all delivered with a wink of lighthearted humor. It’s giving British sarcasm (no doubt picked up during her time in London), and we’re living for it.
Of course, the moment everyone’s talking about … rapper Laufey. It’s unexpected, it’s exciting, and honestly, it’s addictive. Who knew heartbreak and a jazz-adjacent bar could hit this hard? It’s a bold stylistic shift and a sign that Laufey is ready to keep pushing boundaries with this new era.
A Grammy Win That Proves Jazz Is Cool
The music world collectively exhaled when Laufey took home a Grammy last year. It was a huge moment for jazz, especially the romantic and whimsical modern brand Laufey has carved out for herself. With this win, she proved that the jazz genre is blooming in the hands of a new generation. We know jazz will never go out of style, but to see our girl recognised for her music is A Moment In Time, we will never forget.
The Lauch of The Laufey Foundation
Laufey’s mission to support the next generation of musicians is admirable and demonstrates the impact her artistry is making. The Laufey Foundation aims to provide resources to help young people reach their full musical potential, primarily through youth orchestras. As someone who got her start in classical music, we love that she’s paying it forward in the most meaningful ways and giving the next generation of musicians the confidence to achieve.
Laufey at Coachella 2025
We couldn’t list iconic Laufey moments without mentioning Coachella 2025. Because honestly, who else would bring orchestral jazz to the desert? This year, Laufey took the stage with the LA Philharmonic, delivering a full-on orchestral performance at one of the world’s most legendary music festivals. It was a stunning fusion of classical and contemporary that we still haven’t stopped thinking about. She left an unforgettable impression on festival-goers; we couldn’t be prouder of her for staying true to her roots while redefining what a festival set can be.
With the recent release of ‘Tough Luck’ and the announcement of her upcoming album A Moment In Time, we’re so ready for new Laufey music. Beyond the songs, moments like these, the risks she takes, the hearts she touches, and the community she’s building remind us why we will forever support her.
